Best Muffuletta in NOLA

Central Grocery is not open. They do sell their sandwiches at some grocery stores.

My personal favorite is R&O's. The olive salad has a little kick to it.

Cochon Butcher

Good spot to take visitors, can sample a bunch of interesting stuff

Friend,

Friend,

10. Napoleon House - the only heated muffuletta in the top 10.
9. Martin's Deli & Bistro
8. Come Back Inn (request cold)
7. Lovecchio's (long trip to Norco, but it's the best sandwich within 20 miles)
6. Frank's (not the original, but is delicious)
5. World Deli (request cold)
4. Nor Joe's (good, but isn't as great as most Old Metairites say)
3. Gendusa's (request cold)
2. DiMartino's (delivered by family)
1. Central Grocery (the ones being made under that name are not nearly as good as the ones from the actual grocery which is soon to open)

Yours,

There’s no real secret to a good muffuletta. Get Central Grocery olive mix, a loaf from Gendusa’s Bakery, which were $2 each, and good deli meats. Let them sit together for a few hours and serve at room temperature. I would not put R&O’s roast beef poorboy in my top ten nor its muffuletta anywhere near my top ten. Decent fried seafood and good shrimp salad, though.

Not sure if the best, but Arabi Food Store will kill it for a hot muff.

Others are good but I think this one is still the best. No way they are open again, their building is wrecked and they are fighting with insurance about it. But they still make sandwiches and sell em at the liquor store next door.

I know everyone's taste is different, but I think the muffuletta from Central Grocery is the worst one I've ever had. Not to mention the service there is absolutely horrible!

Lovecchio's Deli in Norco used to have the best muffuletta ever but it's been about 4 years since I have been over that way.

Come Back Inn in Kennetairie.

Order it warm, olive salad on the side cold. Scoop on as little as much as you want. 10/10.

Had one at the Napoleon house that was pretty darn good
